The stay is the easy part; the journey to the door is what's worth planning, especially with luggage, an early flight or a group in tow. This guide covers the practical details: the address, the nearest stations, realistic airport transfer times, and the calm way to arrive.

01 / LOCATIONWhere exactly is London Marriott Hotel Canary Wharf?

The hotel's address is 22 Hertsmere Road, West India Quay, London E14 4ED, in Canary Wharf & West India Quay, central London. It sits about a 3-minute walk from West India Quay DLR, which keeps the rest of the city within easy reach once you've checked in.

03 / AIRPORTSAirport transfer times to London Marriott Hotel Canary Wharf

The hotel is reachable from every London airport, but the journeys — and how stressful they are with bags — vary a lot. The board below gives realistic door-to-door driving times for a pre-booked private hire car. Treat them as a planning guide; London traffic has opinions of its own.

From London City

London City is the most relevant airport for this hotel. A direct London City airport transfer by car takes you door to door in around 10–25 minutes depending on traffic — no platform changes, with a driver meeting you in arrivals after baggage reclaim.

From the other airports

Rail routes from Heathrow, Gatwick, Luton all involve at least one change and a final leg across town to Canary Wharf & West India Quay. A door-to-door transfer keeps it to one vehicle, one driver and one fixed price — which tends to matter most when you're tired or travelling as a group.

The location is a gift once you've arrived. The journey to it is the part worth getting right.

04 / THE EASY WAYTrain, Tube or private hire — which suits you?

There's no single right answer. Travelling light and mid-morning? Public transport into Canary Wharf & West India Quay is quick and cheap, and the station nearby is superb for getting around afterwards. A pre-booked private hire transfer tends to win when:

• You're landing very early or very late, when changes and waits feel longer.
• You're carrying real luggage, or travelling as a family or group who'd need an MPV.
• You want a fixed fare known before you travel — no surge, no meter ticking in traffic.
• Your flight time is uncertain — a tracked driver simply adjusts and waits.
